We are excited to welcome Dcn. Joseph Yosten, Parish of Christ the King parishioner, into the Program of Priestly Formation for the Diocese of Tulsa.

Dcn. Yosten was previously ordained as a permanent deacon for our Diocese, however, upon the passing of his wife and based on his unique professional career, Bishop Konderla has accepted him as a candidate to the priesthood for the Diocese.

Dcn. Yosten will be attending St. Meinrad Seminary in January. Please continue to pray for more vocations in our Diocese.” Fr. Duy Nguyen

As we prepare for the Funeral of Bishop Emeritus Edward J. Slattery, we wanted to share the Bishop's final column from the June 2016 issue of Eastern Oklahoma Catholic magazine.

In it, Bishop Slattery states, “How often I have written about the Eucharist in these pages! How many times have I preached on this very mystery! Now I am saying goodbye to you and, with a lump in my throat, I beg you to face the bleakness of the world with your hearts alive with a hope founded in the Eucharist.” -Bishop Edward J. Slattery
